I recorded this episode with Audra Dennison quite a while ago so when I relistened before airing it this today I'd forgotten exactly what we discussed and how tremendously helpful Audra had been to me personally in healing my metabolism and getting my period back after years of dieting and restricting my food. This episode does focus heavily on diet recovery but even if you’ve always been a 'normal eater' listen to this episode. You might think it would be boring for you but I'd encourage you to listen because it will give you insight into the way so many people live when it comes to dieting and controlling their food and exercise and how that impacts their physical and mental health long term. I share a bunch about my own story in this episode and open up about where I am at now vs where I've been with body image since starting this podcast. We talk about healing your metabolism and get way into the Minnesota starvation experiment under research scientist Ancel Keys which is REAL fascinating. We discuss the importance of learning to embrace your adult body and getting over wanting your body to look as it was as child or another point in your life + many other things so just listen, okay?
